Abbots Well Cottage is a characterful detached house overlooking open countryside in the historic village of Rievaulx, with views of the iconic ruins from the garden
Set across three floors, the house has plenty of characterful features, including leaded windows, picture rails, coving and open fires.
In the welcoming reception hall there’s a turned staircase leading up to the first floor. To the western side of the property is the large kitchen diner with a limestone flagged floor, fitted oak units and integral appliances. There is space for a dining table, and glazed double doors out to the patio.
Leading off from the kitchen is the formal dining room which has an impressive fireplace, and also a rear hallway with a useful utility room, pantry, storage room and a cloakroom. Completing the ground floor is a cosy sitting room with a log burning stove, and a large drawing room with fireplace.
On the first floor there are three spacious double bedrooms, including the principal suite which has fitted wardrobes and a useful storage cupboard, as well as a luxurious ensuite bathroom with a WC, twin basins, a large shower cubicle and a bath from which you can enjoy the views across the valley. A second bedroom also has the benefit of an ensuite. There’s also a house bathroom on the first floor, and a useful eaves storage cupboard located off the landing.

The house has an attached two-storey carport. Downstairs there’s room for two vehicles, while upstairs there’s an office/studio with cloakroom.
The generous plot extends to one acre. The gardens are terraced with a large patio and lawn immediately in front of the property providing the perfect space for seating and enjoying the views, with the ruins of Rievaulx Abbey being visible.
